Title: Class Experiments - F2F, Online, Synchronous? A Case Study Comparison 

Class experiments have been shown to aid student learning. Traditionally, these were conducted with paper and pen. However, platforms have subsequently been developed to enable them to be run online. Among other advantages, this allows the possibility of conducting class experiment in a remote, asynchronous format with potential benefits for students and instructors. However, there is little evidence on how this asynchronous approach compares to other delivery formats. To address this, our paper provides novel case-study evidence on the effectiveness of delivery format for class experiments. As part of our presentation, we will also offer provide practical, step-by-step guidance of how to adapt a classroom experiment for asynchronous, remote delivery.

Title: Weathering the Energy Crisis: Can Tailored Information to Local Government Spur Climate Action? (With Menna Bishop, Thiemo Fetzer, and Ludovica Gazze)

Abstract: The United Kingdom ranks among the worst European countries in terms of residential energy efficiency and fuel poverty. Although local governments have the tools to influence building upgrades, lack of coordination across levels of government and a systemic under-funding have hindered councils' ability to foster energy efficiency investments. We implement a randomised controlled trial to test whether a bottom-up approach for disseminating academic and policy findings can influence adoption of local policies that deliver energy savings. Leveraging granular energy performance certificates (EPCs), local energy use, census, and property price data, we produced briefs containing rigorous, just-in-time analyses of the projected effects of the energy crisis on residents of districts in England and Wales and of the estimated local benefits of energy efficiency investments. We distributed these briefs to council officers and members, as well as to local media outlets for 165 randomly selected districts. We will estimate the effects of our targeted outreach on public discourse and on the policy-making process.
